Almost there

Last Thursday, was a huge day in my poly life. It was the day where I show cased what I have learnt, in my 3 years at the school, through my final year project. The open house attracted different people from all over. Other students, families, friends, investors, lecturers, etc. Both local and abroad. It also marked the fact that it is almost over. Our Ngee Ann journey that is.


As I tried to charm people with my 3D vision videos (that’s my project). I couldn’t help but feel over the moon with the compliments of good it was. And yes, I love attention and blowing my own trumpet. But this time I mean it. A big ‘kahuna’ who was being showed around by the DIRECTOR OF ME DIVISION IN NGEE ANN was so impressed by the project he asked if I would consider doing something for him. He was going Houston for some fair and said he would like to exhibit my work. My jaws dropped and all I could muster was a faint ‘huh’ and an award winning “blur like sotong” look. Seeing drool forming in the corner of my lips, the director decided to step in and save me any more embarrassment.


My mind was a little fuzzy by the offer and I don’t remember what the director said but I remembered before the “kahuna” left he smiled and said, “If you are interested, just tell the director”. Again, the only thing that came out was ‘huh’. That aside I also spoke to my dream gal for the first time (since the first day of school). I say dream because I know nothing about her, so everything I think she is, are all made up. Like her love for helping the needy, her support for Liverpool, her bad taste (I wouldn’t have got her if it was good right?), etc. She will never guess how breath taking she is to me. How I can see myself holding her in my arms night after night. That smile. I would climb mountains for that smile.



I didn’t invite anyone for the open house. Truth is I’m not sure anyone would have come. And this being an important event for me (and how proud I am of what we have achieved), I was not prepared to be turned down with things like “so far” or “must I go”. But for what its worth, Samuel’s parents and Lance girlfriend came. Lol, sad man. ; p
At the end we had a great dinner, KFC, pizza and all. My diet went out the window for that evening. It was time to celebrate. The feeling was surreal. It felt like yesterday I was walking into the school for the first time. And with the curtains closed on the FYP, I can’t help but feel so bitter sweet. What has life install for me next? What is my next destination or adventure? Only time will tell. For now I need to concentrate on my final 2 module. Happy new year everyone. May this be the best one yet.
